1Marker information content combines the multilocus probability of individuals inheriting allele 1 or 2 from the common parent with marker segregation distortion [35].

2-4The HS, VC, and LDLA columns show chromosomes containing suggestive (*) and significant (**) QTL for each trait (EBV, BLUP3) identified by half-sib regression interval mapping, variance component analysis, or linkage disequilibrium and linkage analysis, respectively.

5The number of total QTL is reported in the last row in the format suggestive/significant QTL.
